Why is it not possible to play music stored on iphone from multiple pc's

I am able to hook my nano up to 2 different pc's and play music that is stored only on the nano from itunes. When the same is performed using my brand new iphone I find all the songs stored on the iphone are greyed out and cannot be accessed.
Why is this so?
I do not want to sync to this computer just use the itunes interface to access the songs stored on my iphone for playback purposes only on a machine. Seems like madness to me and a step backwards in terms of functionality.

More advanced security on a device as sophisticated as
an iPhone I can live with. This lack of functionality however
is for me a bit of a let down. Given how powerful the device and
it's os is I would have thought providing read only access to certain
files would not have been difficult. The same applies to
blocking the transfer of these files via any other mechanism
than iTunes. Please don't take this the wrong way, I am very
impressed with the iPhone. I was just frustrated when I sat down
in front of my laptop to find I could not plug in the phone and listen
to music via iTunes. This one function that make it dare I say it
keep pace with an mp3 player.

Hi, is it possible to play music while my iphone locked

Hi, is it possible to play music while my iphone locked

Yup. If it is enabled (and i believe it is by default) in the settings, double clicking the home button brings up the iPod controls which allow you to raise the volume, play a song, and more forward or backward a song. If the headphones are plugged in, clicking the center button on the headphones once can also play/pause a song while double clicking will move forward and triple clicking will move backward.

Playing Music Stored In iPhone

Once I was able to play my music directly off my iPhone using iTunes (I had synced the iPhone using a different coumputer). But now, I can't find the option in iTunes anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe you are talking about Home Sharing. The music doesn't physically reside on your iDevice but plays it from your Computer's iTunes.

Yrs,
Unspeakably Frustrated

Yes, you can do this. Drag the music track to the background and start adding your pictures. A great way to do this is to use beat markers so your photos will change on the beat.
A really fast way to do this is to line up your photos in an iPhoto album in the order you want them. You can drag the whole album into iMovie at once.
Here is a tutorial on the beat marker feature.
Here is a sample of a slideshow made by dragging in the music first, adding beat markers, and then adding photos.

Why it is not possible to install apps on an SD card on a Win 8.1 tablet?

Why it is not possible to install apps on an SD card on a Win 8.1 tablet? If it is possible to install apps on SD card in Windows phone 8.1, why is it not possible on Windows 8.1? What sort of design philosophy you follow that gives better features on
a mobile version of the OS but not on the parent OS? Kindly explain if you can!

Hello,
I'd ask in the

NTLM Authentication : why is it not possible to create more than one NTLM realm ?

Hello,
I'm wondering why it is not possible to create more than one NTLM realm on a wsa.
Can you explain exactly what is the blocking point ?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Well, at this point (pre 7.5), there isn't an agent, the WSA is joined to the domain, just like a Windows box, it authenticates via that trust relationship. From that point it is all based on how NT/Active Directory domains work. As long as there is a trust between the domains, you can can auth users from as many domains as you like.
There is an agent in the works. The ADAgent will be released with 7.5. The code is already available, it was released with the ASA ver 8.4, and it will be used to pass authentication info to the WSA. At this point, current versions still require trust relationships between all of the domains touched.
Taken from the setup guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ibf/setup_guide/ibf10_install.html#wp1054011
Before you configure even a single domain controller machine using the
adacfg dc create
command, ensure that the AD Agent machine is first joined to a domain (for example, domain
J
) that has a trust relationship with each and every domain (for example, domain
D[i]
) that it will monitor for user authentications (through the domain controller machines that you will be configuring on the AD Agent machine).
Depending on your Active Directory domain structure, the following scenarios are possible:
1. Single Forest, Single Domain—There is only one domain, D[i] for all domain controller machines, which is one and the same as domain J. The AD Agent machine must first be joined to this single domain, and since no other domains are involved, there is no need to configure any trust relationship with any other domain.
2. Single Forest, Multiple Domains—All the domains in a single forest already have an inherent two-way trust relationship with each other. Thus, the AD Agent must first be joined to one of the domains, J, in this forest, with this domain J not necessarily being identical to any of the domains D[i] corresponding to the domain controller machines. Because of the inherent trust relationship between domain J and each of the domains D[i], there is no need to explicitly configure any trust relationships.
3. Multiple Forests, Multiple Domains—It is possible that domain J might belong to a forest that is different than the forest to which one or more of the domains D[i] corresponding to the domain controller machines belong. In this case, you must explicitly ensure that each of the domains D[i] has an effective trust relationship with domain J, in at least one of the following two ways:
a. A two-way external trust relationship can be established between the two domains, D[i] and J
b. A two-way forest trust relationship can be established between the the forest corresponding to domain D[i] and the forest corresponding to domain J

GoPro HD - Why is it not possible to use a GoPro as an external/remote camera on my iPhone?

If I could cable a GoPro Hero HD camera to my iPhone, why would I be unable to tell my iPhone 4 to use it as an external video camera and video source? Or any USB camera for that matter?
Why is this not possible?
Ian

There is no USB camera driver in iOS.
For security reasons, none can be added by third parties.
If they wanted you to use it, the manufacturer would write an app for that.

Why is it not possible to install apple remote desktop (from appstore bought earlier) on my new imac 21?

why is it not possible to install apple remote desktop (from appstore bought earlier) on my new imac 21?

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of my iPad 2? or it's only possible in the Video App?

Is it possible to play music videos on the Music App of the iPad 2? Or create a playlist for the Video App? or sort the music videos by artist, genre, album, etc.?

I have two music videos on my iPad and they don't even show up in the Music App - only in the Videos App so I have to conclude that you can only play them in the Videos App.
I could be wrong - heaven knows it won't be the first time - but I see no way to play it in the Music App.

Is it possible to play music in background on iPad?

Is it possible to play music in background on iPad?

You really should start your own thread rather than open one this old.
However, to your question. If the game app (or any app) you open has sounds, yes, it will override the music app causing it to pause.
You can offer your feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
but in this case I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that feature. iOS already provides a "priority". It goes to the app that is currently open, as it should.

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings. This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue. I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off. I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, test it out again. Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

New Mac Not Authorized To Play Music From iTunes Store

My new Mac is not authorized to play music purchased from the iTunes store. This was my error since I was a bit over exuberant and forgot to deauthorize my old computer before transferring the iTunes library using the setup assistant.
I do not plan to keep my old computer and will delete the music. In order to retain all my old settings (e.g. copies still available), am I now able to repeat the transfer process using the migration assistant?
I would like to simply deauthorize the old computer and then transfer the iTunes files a second time.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Rod

Just go to 'Store' in the menu bar in iTunes and select 'Authorize' to authorize your new Mac with your iTunes account.
If you have authorized 5 computers (the maximum), you can reset them all once a year from the account management section of iTunes Music Store. Access this by signing in and clicking the button labelled with your Apple ID in the top right of the iTunes Store window.
You can transfer your entire iTunes library (ratings, playlists, date added, last played, playcount etc.) by just copying the entire iTunes folder (containing iTunes Library, iTunes Music and iTunes Music Library.xml) from your old Music folder to your new one.
Make sure you back up all of your purchased music, it cannot be downloaded again!
Hope that is helpful in some way!
Tom.
